Baltimore Off The Beaten Path: 92 reviews and 172 photos
The Phoenix Shot Tower was used to create the small lead balls called "shot." Here lead was dropped from the tower into water at the bottom to create perfect lead balls used in shotguns and rifles. Located in front of Little Italy, the Phoenix Shot Tower was used from 1828 to 1892 to create these deadly projectiles. From the time of its construction until after the Civil War, this tower was the tallest building in the US.
